Identification And Identification Of Fingerprint Scanners

Our idea Fingerprint scanners have been used in movies such as action and various other types for years, but until recent times, they were unheard of technology in the real world. In the past few years, however, scanners have been introduced into almost the whole society for example in police stations, high-security buildings and even on PC keyboards. Fingerprints are a unique identification of all individuals, even identical twins whose two prints may look exactly the same, a fingerprint scanner can find the differences between certain finger prints. Fingerprint scanning into encryption- this method of introducing fingerprints to unlock the key for personal secured information rather than using passwords is a lot safer because it is†¦show more content†¦Introducing finger print scanning instead of credit cards- replace using credit cards with finger print scanners at all ATM machines and banks, this would be much safer because there is no risk in anyone taking card details and pins therefore reduces the risk of fraud and will save banks a lot of money from having to pay back to those who have been affected from fraud. Year by year card fraud and database hacking is increasing. The main reason being the outdated method of using a card and PIN. Therefore to counteract the information being stolen so easily, this project introduces the idea of integrating Fingerprint Technology into the Banking system. This can be achieved by each bank having its own encryption algorithms for fingerprints unique to its customers and thereaf ter update ATM machines with attaching fingerprint scanners to them. Fingerprint scanning has recently been introduced into technology, for example iPhone now have a fingerprint detector to unlock the iPhone instead of using a pin, and this only gives the owner of the phone authority to access the information within the phone. Also fingerprint scanning has been used in fast food chains for example Chicago’s fast food restaurant has an ordering system which uses fingerprints to determine customer’s orders. Governments use finger print scanning in many ways one of which is for passport verification in airports. Research shows that more than half (62%) of
